PB Mike has the most valid point I've heard yet. As a caller once mentioned to me, they'll eventually just put commercials on satellite WHILE we still pay, so it'll be nothing more than cable tv--a scam--unless it's only a fad. Terrestial radio needs salvation.

Gah! "THE ECLECTIC FORMAT IS REALLY OLD-FASHIONED"??!!!! That's like saying "freedom of choice" is really old-fashioned! But then again, this is the Golden Age Of Bare Feet And Blue Jeans, right? Everybody is supposed to act alike, look alike, and think alike! Like Hell! Trouble is, too many people are so "politically correct" (i.e., passive-aggressive/anal retentive) that they don't want to deal; thus they gladly allow anyone to just spoon-feed them their opinions and values. To paraphase an oft-quoted line by Chas Smith and Lonesome Cowboy Dave: NOBODY THINKS, NOBODY MOVES -- NOBODY GETS HURT! Yeeessshhhh!!!!!
